    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;

    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to

of information technology.

    Abstract: The TSA Canine Program is a Congressionally-mandated 
program that operates pursuant to section 110(e)(3) of the Aviation and 
Transportation Security Act (ATSA), Public Law 107-71 (115 Stat. 597, 
Nov. 19, 2001); the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296

of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, Public Law 110-53 (121 Stat. 266, 
Aug. 3, 2007). The TSA Canine Program developed the TSA CTC to train 
and deploy explosive detection canine teams to Federal, State, and 
local agencies in support of daily activities that protect the 
transportation domain. TSA created the TSA CTC Adoption Program under 
the authority of 41 CFR 102-36.35(d) and 102-36.365 to find suitable 
individuals or families to adopt and provide good homes to canines who 
do not graduate from the training program. Individuals seeking to adopt 
a TSA canine must complete the TSA CTC Adoption Application. This 
collection of information allows the TSA CTC to collect personal 
information from the applicants to determine their suitability to adopt 
a TSA canine.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 50 hours annually.

    Dated: April 28, 2017.
